We are the Same


I join this march in hopes and praise, that perhaps it will end these dark days. I turn and see a group of people, whos only wish is to be equal. I can't help but wonder why we can't get along, this issue has been going for far to long. I may be darker but i'm just like you, For i have eyes, a nose, and mouth too. Do you not see the arms at my sides? or the legs that i walk with in strides? Look at yourself and tell me the truth, What is the difference? show me the proof. I walk, I talk, I do what you do, I smile, I laugh, and I sing too. I have emotions and feelings same as you, I have a family who loves me too. So what is the difference between you and I? That I am the dark? and you are the sky? Color is just a word used as disgrace. We are the same, One Human Race.
